I’m trying to install Windows XP on a system, and Setup gets stuck at the “Setup is inspecting your computer’s hardware configuration” stage
how can I fix it, i turned off and on, and the message still there help please

If you have a PPC Mac, you can't install Windows unless you are using something like Parallels or a virtual application. If you are using Boot Camp, eject the disc, reboot and try again.

XP install hangs at "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware..."

XP install hangs at "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration", this is after going through the boot camp steps. Any ideas?! Is this a firmware thing? Thereotically xp install cd should be able to boot just by holding down the "c" key no?
what I used:
win xp sp2
mac os x.4.7
macbook
What I'm trying to do is get xp running off my external 15gb fw hd. I read on mac os rumours some guy did it successfully!

Can anyone confirm this?
Maybe someone from the Boot Camp Public Beta Forum, which is where you probably should be discussing this anyway.

maybe something is wrong with your install or your computers hardware as in a periodic defect
or the cd is dodgy
installed
vs express 2013 for desktop
vs express 2013 for windows (metro)
vs express for windows phone
on my windows 8.1 think I installed them when I was still using win8 though
without problems
when the same bootcamp partition was windows 7 ultimate 64bit
I was running
vs 2010 pro
and vs 2008 (for winCE)
without problems

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent"....

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent". How do I close these programs?

If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
Parallels has a forum here:

I think you'll get a faster response there.

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
Thanks in advance.

1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

I installed windows 8 using bootcamp but can't get back to the apple side. The windows side can not find the bootcamp app

I installed windows 8 using boot camp assistance. I finished and it looks like windows installed successfully. When I search for boot camp. It doesn't find it. When I restart the computer it comes up in windows. How do i get back to the apple side?

You did made a backup before you started all of this with BootCamp, didn't you?
One missed step with BootCamp and the whole Mac side of things can disappear.
I thought a Recovery boot and Disk Utility would be the quickest way to find out what you did.
